Abstract (en)

Example method, apparatus, and computer program product embodiments are disclosed to enable out-of-band short-range communication carrier transport switching for connection setup in device-to-device communication. Example embodiments of the invention include a method comprising the steps of initiating, by a first device, an out-of-band short-range carrier transport switch with a second device by transmitting wireless communication signals for providing the out-of-band carrier communication connection, and sending, by the first device, in-band short-range carrier communication connection parameters including one or more parameters indicating a timer value of an interval related to an expected completion time of a transport switch procedure, to the second device via the out-of-band short-range carrier communication connection.
